N2  - "The concept of "communities of practice" has become an influential one in education, management and social sciences in recent years. This book consists of a series of studies by linguists and educational researchers, examining and developing aspects of the concept which have remained relatively unexplored. Framings provided by theories of language-in-use, literacy practices and discourse extend the concept, bringing to light issues around conflict, power and the significance of the broader social context which have been overlooked."--BOOK JACKET
